Just to make sure I understand what you mean by "composing 
limits", do you mean this?

alias NonNegativeInt = CheckedInt!(int, Abort, 0, int.max);
alias Ubyte = CheckedInt!(NonNegativeInt, Abort, 
NonNegativeInt(0), NonNegativeInt(255));
Ubyte b; //b is guaranteed to be in [0, 255]

And then we should expect this to fail:

alias Byte = CheckedInt!(NonNegativeInt, Abort, 
NonNegativeInt(-128), NonNegativeInt(127));
